Well, if there is something wrong with the device, you'll need to try and return it if that is a possibility. Make sure that you are connecting the 12V, IGN, and gound correctly.

If the load is too high on it, I suppose the fuse might blow (i've never had/heard of this yet), so reduce the load.

Thanks for your replies. Ive disconnected my amp and connected it as i knew these wires were working, the inline fuse is undamaged but the blade fuse on the psu keeps blowing, i have 12.49 volts on the unswitched battery wire.

Sending unit back is not an option as postage from oz to us and back would be close to replacement cost, so any help in repairing would be greatly appreciated.

thanks....

Post a pic or diagram of how you are hooking it up. It shouldn't blow the fuse everytime you hook it up so obviously the problem is either with your connections or the M1-ATX is defective.
